While President Obama ramps up the class warfare rhetoric as a prelude to the 2012 election, yesterday it was time to demonize the corporate jet crowd:

“I think it’s only fair to ask an oil company or a corporate jet owner that has done so well,” the president stated at one point, “to give up that tax break that no other business enjoys.”

 
Just one problem, as Heritage’s Foundry reminds us, the corporate jet tax break that the One was referring to was actually just put into his own stimulus package: Obama Blasts Private Jet Tax Breaks Created by His Own Stimulus. Oops!

So the president’s statement today – and his call to repeal that tax break generally – is either a tacit admission that the stimulus included projects that did not, in fact, stimulate the economy, or an attempt to “soak the rich” without regard for the policy’s effects on the economy.

Is the Prez just totally clueless? Or does he know the msm will either totally ignore the facts, or provide cover as needed, so he just doesn’t care?
